#in fact this is true of most people

[hertypeofparty]

there's a genre of post abt/meant for insecure people that i always kiiiinda want to reblog bc they lowkey have some good advice but it's always expressed in the most condescending, borderline aggressive way. like it nearly always reads as written by someone who got their first job and had their first sex 2 days ago and now thinks they have The Key to life and is so frustrated that other people are still struggling with it.

We didn't even get an answer, and we never will (at least it's not determination)

the strangest thing to me about the BSD fandom is the fact that the vast majority of people in it are dazai fans, while also consistently assuming the absolute worst of him, disregarding the circumstances around his actions and giving him no grace or consideration of his situation whatsoever.

there's no doubt dazai is a bad person in many ways. he did plenty of unjustifiable, inexcusable things. he's pathologically manipulative with a totally skewed moral compass, most of which was undoubtedly brought on by his upbringing in the mafia. but at the same time, i see such a huge number of people taking that and somehow ending up with - and vehemently defending - this idea that he's a remorseless, indifferent, innately cruel person by nature?

are we forgetting this is the same dazai who was forced to false-witness a murder at fourteen years old? the same dazai who already wracked up numerous suicide attempts barely out of his pre-teens?the same dazai who was referred to by everyone around him as a 'demon' at fifteen years old? the same dazai consistently described as having grief-filled, empty expressions and detached, vacant reactions to practically everything when he was so young? the same dazai that oda described as "a child crying in the dark, alone, left to fend for himself with a hole in his heart as large as the world itself"?

that dazai is an indifferent, heartless, innately psychopathic person? really? i'm not convinced.

Carnivale Lecroux does a haunted house for Halloween-DnD-equivalent. Kremy sets up all the spooky shit (with his magic of course), and the rest are actors.

Gideon has put the fear of the Gods in many people just by chasing them with a cleaver. He doesn't even fake a laugh, he's genuinely having the time of his life. He can't really hide in the dark so he goes for a more open approach of "I'm going to fucking kill you". It works well

Gricko and Frost like icking people out with sound effects and shit moving "on its own" (mage hand for the win). Gricko is a bit of an over actor, Frost a bit of an under actor, but they balance each other out well. The last thing someone expects when a tabaxi is staring them down is a goblin to jump out and scare them.

Torbek scares people normally but he's not used to people like, paying for him to do it. He's kind of a shit actor but his sneaking up on people ability is unmatched in the Krew. Then all he does is say "hi. Uh. Torbek means Boo" and he does indeed scare the shit out of people.

Hootsie isn't scary really. I mean owlbears are scary in the wild, but she's a cutie. She's more there to collect coins from people admiring her beautiful costume and her spooky little dances (they are spooky cause she's in a scary costume. The jigs are her typical ones). Although sometimes when she's tired she hangs out with her dad and helps make scary noises. She's good at that.

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

Yesterday, in NYC, a man lit a woman, who was sleeping in a subway car, on fire until she died. So the man arrested will be charged with terrorism as well as murder, correct? His attack was also threatening the lives of other homeless people (which it is assumed she was so). Surely he will also be charged with terrorism for scaring those people, right?

Or is it only terrorism when rich people are threatened?

Also, surely the fact the person who did this being an undocumented immigrant won’t be mentioned in every single news article about it, right? A woman was brutally murdered. Who gives a shit where the perpetrator is from, all we should care is that he is detained and punished.

Right?

We all agreed to this, right?

Or does race and immigration status only matter when a non-white and or undocumented immigrant commits a crime?

Same place, same police.

And I think we all know how differently this murder will be treated. And why.

indeed my exact process once every 8 months or so

[whatbigotspost]

Fun fact!!!! Treating employees well is almost always objectively “good for business”

IF

your indicators of “good for business” are basically any indicator OTHER than “the owner’s unfettered greed and unquenchable lust for more money.”

👍.

I really am a fan and I love your work so I'm trying to say this in as nice a way as possible but you posted something yesterday (which I thought was really cool and reblogged when I first saw it) and then you reblogged it 10 more times in the next 24 hours and it's not even that reblogging it at all again is a problem I totally get why but that many times is just a lot

12 times actually ;] everytime I post something it goes into my queue to post once every 2 hours over the next 24 hours. Which may seem a lot but, this is my actual real job and whether or not I make rent this month is dependant on how many people see my artwork!

not gonna work for hours working every day and have people miss it! If you post artwork just once, that means most of the globe isn’t gonna see it thanks to time zones - and unless you’re followers are dedicated and constantly checking your page, they’re gonna miss it

I appreciate ur politeness, but I’ve been doing this for like 5 years and there’s stuff you gotta do if you want this to be your career! If you’re an artist reading this, this is your sign to go boost your most recent work!

tbh i don't think you can put an end to single-use plastics without also reckoning with capitalist + imperialist worker exploitation.

Chapitre 216 starts here, with the title 'The Space Between Life and Death' - which is the exact kind of title I want for some Yuuko answers!

And genuinely we open with the funniest possible way she could describe this.

Just, like.

YES YOU DON'T SAY.
